Frequently asked questions

Why are you ignoring my e-mails?They have probably been chewed up by our Exchange server. Try sending from a different address, or try contacting me by a different method. If you have sent me a 10MB Word file written in Greek or Sanskrit (I am not joking), then I have ignored you on purpose. Jan 2013: due to travel and illness I have given up and declared e-mail bankruptcy. I have deleted everything in my INBOX as there was no way I would be able to catch up. So if you have sent me anything important recently, please resend.
